Cape Petrel, Southern Giant Petrel, and a Skua - where exactly was that last picture (of the Skua) taken?

*Edited for a royal brain fart - I looked at it twice to assure myself that that was Antarctic Petrel and not Cape Petrel instead of double checking some underside photos. Too much confidence / too little double checking - sorry.

I would say the first is a Cape Petrel.

Any more of the Skua?

Cheers

The skua was taken in the Beagle Channel off Ushuaia

If it is in the Beagle Channel odds are extremely high it is Chilean Skua. The photo doesn't show anything that would make me feel otherwise - even just on the photo I would lean Chilean over Brown.
